When we ask bureaucrats to identify who is responsible for fixing anything, they reassure us that there are 'procedures in place.'

I would love to have faith. When you take God out of the universe, there is no-one taking care us - we are just parcels of meat, collections of atoms - we have a little flowering on Earth, and then we're gone.

Art is head space that is very exclusive: it shuts people out; other people cease to exist.

Faith is personal if it's to be real.

I think anytime in someone's faith journey, my faith journey also, you go through doubting... I think you kind of have to go through that, honestly, just to ask the tough questions... I mean, life is crazy, and to know that, honestly, a loving God is walking through it with me is very comforting for me.
